IN  presenting  this  Catalogue  of  our  Buckeye  Iron 
Fencing,  we  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  the  points 
of  superior  merit  and  the  manner  of  constructing  our 
Fence,  as  compared  with  those  of  other  manufacturers. 
While  we  do  not  wish  to  refer  to  other  kinds  of  fencing 
in  criticising  terms,  yet  we  think  it  is  to  the  advantage  of 
every  one  desiring  to  purchase  an  iron  fence,  to  under- 
stand the  construction  of  the  different  kinds  in  the  mar- 
ket, after  which  you  will  be  better  prepared  to  appreciate 
the  superior  merits  of  the  Buckeye  Iron  Fence. 

The  Fences  heretofore  offered  to  the  public  were  as  fol- 
lows: An  ornamental  and  the  other  a plain  Punched 
Bail.  In  the  construction  of  the  former,  the  strength  and 
durability  of  the  Fence  depends  entirely  on  the  malleable 
ornaments ; which,  if  one  ornament  should  become  dis- 
placed or  broken,  the  result  can  readily  be  realized. 

In  regard  to  the  latter,  the  plain  Punched  Bail,  which 
will  not  admit  of  any  ornaments,  notwithstanding  the 
holes  are  punched  and  pickets  pass  through  the  rails,  yet 
in  most  cases  these  pickets  are  secured  only  to  the  bottom 
rail,  and  do  not  pass  below  that  point,  which  detracts  very 
much  from  the  beauty  of  the  fence. 

In  the  construction  of  the  Buckeye  Fence  you  will  find 
the  following  points  of  superiority : 

1st.  The  pickets  pass  through  each  and  extend  below 
the  bottom  rail,  adding  very  much  to  the  beauty  as  com- 
pared with  other  punched  rail  fences. 

2d.  Each  picket  is  secured  at  the  junction  of  each  rail 
.by  a portion  of  the  rail  being  compressed  into  a notch  in 
the  picket. 

3d.  In  producing  the  notches  in  our  pickets  we  remove 
no  material,  consequently  the  picket  is  not  weakened,  as 
is  the  case  in  many  other  fences, 


4th.  In  appearance,  our  Buckeye  Bence  is  a combing 
tion  of  both  the  Ornamental  and  Plain  Punched  Pence, 
but  in  construction  is  far  superior  to  either. 

5th.  You  will  notice  in  our  Ornamental  Pence,  the 
pickets  do  not  depend  on  the  ornamnets  for  support,  but 
are  secured  entirely  independent  of  the  ornaments. 

6th.  The  Buckeye  Pence  is  built  in  the  shop,  complete 
in  panels  of  five  feet  each  (except  when  special  lengths  are 
required),  by  experienced  workmen,  with  proper  tools  and 
facilities  for  doing  the  work  as  it  should  be  done,  Each 
order  is  thus  made  complete  and  fitted  for  its  particular 
place,  and  when  shipped  is  ready  to  set  up  at  once  with- 
out trouble,  thus  overcoming  the  annoyance  of  being 
shipped  in  boxes  and  bundles  and  to  be  built  on  the 
ground  under  great  disadvantages,  and  out  of  just  such 
material  as  is  generally  sent  out  in  such  cases. 

7th.  Our  Pences  are  all  made  standard  height — pickets 
being  full  36  inches  long,  or  39  inches  from  gronnd  to  top 
of  picket.  This  height  seems  to  be  the  most  popular; 
however,  the  Pence  is  so  constructed  that  we  can  make  it 
any  height  desired. 

8th.  We  use  heavier  and  stronger  material  than  most 
other  feace  manufacturers. 

9th.  It  is  very  evident  that  the  frost  will  move  any 
fence,  more  or  less,  whether  on  stone  or  cast  iron  bases, 
consequently  we  make  all  our  fences  so  that  they  can  be 
put  in  perfect  line  at  any  time  without  disturbing  the 
foundations.  Our  fences  can  be  built  to  suit  any  grade. 
If  over  one  inch  to  the  foot  it  should  be  so  stated  in  the 
order. 

10th.  The  BUCKEYE  is  the  best  fence  in  the  world  for 
agents  to  handle,  as  no  mechanical  skill  and  but  little 
time  is  required  to  erect  it.
